This panda is me because it's one of my favorite animals
This eagle is Terry Miller because he's Batman, and both fly
This peacock is Sydney Gaffney because she is beautiful
This dolphin is Dru Phenix because it's her favorite animal
This monkey is Mady Jackson because it's her favorite animal
This snake is Val Gabrish because she is sneaky, and sometimes creepy
This turtle is Ocean Chavez because she is shy
Finished Clay/ Glazed/ Fired Totem Pole:
Problems: During the process of sculpting this, the clay started to dry out; so I had to wrap it in drenched paper towel a couple nights. The wings on the eagle (2nd) wouldnt stay on no matter how much slip I put on. Trying to get the shape of a dolphins head was difficult. Finding time to glaze the totem pole, while I was painting my coffee can head, was difficult too.
I chose the people to be on my totem pole because they are my best friends. The ones I can count on and trust with my secrets.
First I made the panda, then the eagle. I made the peacock and the dolphin next. I made the snake (bottom) next, then the monkey (above snake) because I needed to know how small the bottom of the monkey needed to be.
Finished Mod Podged/Paper Mached/ Painted Totem Pole Coffee Can Head:
.
Why: I chose to do the eagle because it was my favorite. I liked the wings and the nose.
Problems: Finding time to paper mache and to paint it.
Who: The eagle is Terry because he calls himself Batman, and both fly. Terry also is very strong.
